12 times the Phoenix Suns signed the less-talented NBA brother

1. Taylor Griffin

Taylor Griffin was never as good as his brother, Blake, in basketball, but his younger brother’s talent may have helped earn him shot in the NBA.

Even though Taylor was three years older than Blake, they were both eligible for the 2009 NBA draft, with Blake having only played two seasons at Oklahoma.

While Blake Griffin was the #1 overall pick in 2009, his older brother, Taylor, who graduated from Oklahoma, was still available in the second round when the Phoenix Suns were on the clock.

Unable to stop themselves in their on-going hope to find a sibling who might be as good as the more highly-touted one, the Suns drafted Taylor Griffin with the 48th overall pick in the draft. Even though he spent the entire year with the Suns, he played in just eight games and scored a total of 10 points.

This was his first and last year in the NBA.
